UBD Money Maker Theme and Expected Blog Content

// July 4th, 2008 // Tech

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed or via Email to make sure you don't miss anything. I really appreciate your visit!

Unique Blog Designs recently released the UDB MoneyMaker Theme, which I promptly installed and modified for my own evil desires. For some strange reason, it really caught my eye and I had to have it.

A quick list of things I hacked:

Integrated the Ad Rotator plugin to provide a variety of 486×60 banner ads
Implemented Disqus widgets for the sidebar and Top Commentators
Added my EntreCard widget right below the UBD Block Ad Plugin
Added BlogCatalog Widget under Recent Readers
Added FriendFeed to the sidebar
Added FriendFeed Comments plugin to the “Single” template
Hacked the search to work via Lijit (this still needs work, though)
And integrated the Related Posts plugin

The funny thing here is that I had also decided that this wouldn’t be a Money Maker blog. I mean, how many of those can really succeed? I like money, I like making money, but I also like Social Media and Web 2.0 and those things are much more interesting to talk about for me.

To lay it all out there for you, my faithful reader, I will be blogging mostly about Social Media and Web 2.0 as they relate to self-improvement and increasing quality of life. There will be a focus on organization, motivation, marketing, and home business.

I can never stress enough how important it is to educate yourself, learn to use new tools and do new things. Once you have a base of “book smarts”, there is no telling where imagination can take you, and this is where success flows. I want to help others get there.

Take a look at the template files under Appearance->Editor. Even with
moderate PHP and HTML skills, the changes you're talking about may be
pretty difficult.
